    True story… I’m an atheist and I apparrently “died” back in January… I didn’t know.

    I was in the hospital with a heart attack waiting on stent surgery.

    I wake up around 6 AM and am fiddling around with Lemmy, such as you do.

    Nurse comes in:

    “Hey, were you asleep about an hour ago?”

    “Yeah, why?”

    “Your heart stopped for 8 seconds.”

    “Um… thank you? I’m not sure what you want me to do with that information…”

      My father just had his heart monitored for a couple weeks and the doctor pointed out pauses in his rhythm of about 5 seconds occasionally, and said ‘those are not worrying me’. Then showed him pauses 8-10 seconds long and said ‘these do’.

      Glad you’re okay but you’re about to be prescribed a diet of sawdust (joking, it’ll probably be the Mediterranean diet which is not that bad) and frequent doctor visits for tests.
